Welcome to MyGraceChurch
We understand the importance of having a two-way conversation.
To get the most out of this site, we have created a way to make
that happen. A way to communicate between Grace Church and you.
Look below to find out how you can create your own Grace account
that will allow you to talk to us, register for events, volunteer
for ministry opportunities or even give online.
What do I need to do?
Create an account so we know who you are.
What do you need to know?
Just the basics - contact information, user id, password and birthdate.
Why do you need my birthdate?
Three reasons, really - none of them with any hidden agenda:
 |
Knowing the life stage you're in helps us make sure you get information that is helpful to you. |
|
This information guarantees your online account information is secure - so hackers can't access your online giving records or any other personal information. |
|
Although there is no "inappropriate" content on our site whatsoever, certain events and classes are age restricted. The birthdate prevents children from registering for adult events. |
What can I do after I create MyGraceChurch account?
|
Online registration for events, classes and groups. [24/7, whenever it's convenient for you.] |
|
Online sign-up for volunteer opportunities. [Avoid having to chase down a ministry leader or standing in line at the info center between services.] |
|
Priority status when you contact us via the web. Your personal id and message is routed directly to an assigned staff person who recognizes your Grace Church account. [Your message won't sit in a generic mailbox with all other general requests.] |
|
Secure online contributions and view your history online. [You can set this up one-time or schedule a recurring contribution that happens automatically.] |
I don't want to be bombarded or spammed with church mailings.
Don't worry. We aren't fond of that either. We get that "your space" is not
"our space". The purpose of your Grace Church account is to make it easy
for you to do what you need to do online to take your next step. It's not
for us to capture your information so we can invade your personal space just
adding more noise and clutter to your life. We're serious about that.
I'm a little uneasy about sharing my personal information online.
At many sites, we would be too. That's why we've made this one completely secure. Let's clarify what you won't get when you create a MyGraceChurch account:
|
spammed, harassed and profiled for marketing purposes |
|
sold to the highest bidder |
|
deluged with information you don't want, don't need or didn't ask for |
|
infiltrated by spyware or asked for money |
|
instant-messaged by random strangers |
|
email forwards with angel poems, cake recipes or chain letters. |
Will I use MyGraceChurch account like I use my eBay or Amazon accounts?
Your MyGraceChurch account is not a retail account or ecommerce line where
you manage your profile, user preferences, shopping cart, wish list, products
and services, etc. It's a simple and secure online connection between you and Grace.
It's like an online ticket that allows you access to interactive parts of the site
that aren't available to anonymous surfers. And, since we won't use cookies on
VisitGraceChurch.com (install our files on your machine), your MyGraceChurch account
is the only way for us to know for sure it's you when you enter the interactive places
on VisitGraceChurch.com.
I still have questions.
We'd be happy to answer them. Just contact us and we'll try to help.
